Brela

Overview

The town of Brela itself is small, but extremely famous for its unique pebble beach Punta Rata, which stretches for several kilometers. The main features of this beach are small pebbles and an incredible number of pines that approach almost to the water's edge.

Punta Rata is one of the best beaches in the entire Adriatic. The clear sea, beautiful views of the Dinaric Alps and a comfortable climate have allowed Brela to gain the status of the best beach destination in all of Croatia.
